The waterman possibility holds true for Swindon Cheltenham too !

A short Canal exists from the River Severn at Wainlode near Tirley / Apperley heading towards Cheltenham , at Coombe Hill on the A38. This was originally planned as the Cheltenham Canal. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/59078

Swindon nr Cheltenham is only 3 miles from here :-)

However the census data does point towards Wiltshire for his birth.

<><><> so back to his birth

Accepting his birth in Wiltshire, if his family were "Watermen" then the baptism may have been at any point on their routes. So St Mary De Lode in Westgate St down towards the River and canal/docks seems another possible :-
